Translucent materials light differently depending on the model you use. The choices are listed in the material properties. You probably want to use dbuffer decals for this purpose though rather than a translucent material
Thanks for the big resolution shots! Looks promising. You'll probaby fill the scene up more, but right now, the big empty floor area with the repeating board pattern is something that stands out immediately. The shot towards the sun works best in that regard, as the specular breaks up the shading. The materials and colors…
I started with a blockout on the basemesh proportions, I don't really pay attention to the silhouette yet, as I use mostly primary shapes that will not give the right contour. I like to color the different elements. It helps me see which part of the character is disproportionate. I used the Transpose Master to move around…
// the following is an OT soap-box rant. please forgive. fucking thank you being in a mode where you want to be sensitive to everyone's values and somehow have space for everyone equally without conflict is a value it's self. getting upset because someone doesn't share that same value is not only unconscious, it's…
Keep the contact stuff. Make the top frame MUCH smaller, or don't have it all, because FRAMES ARE EVIL. http://www.html-faq.com/htmlframes/?framesareevil http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php But anyway, now that I have convinced you to not have a frame, you will still want to make that masthead smaller. Why? At my…
I think everyone wants to make a positive difference in the world. Although for the most part we just don't seem to find the time. People are at their most unhappiest when they are not helping others or are not somehow involved in a community. Unfortunately our modern world seems to be promoting the idea of the individual…

I've been using speedtree for a little while now and I thought I had a hang of it. I made some trees and exported them yada yada and I reopened the file today and the previously 2k~ tri trees I made are now at a whopping 13k tris. Upon closer inspection I see that there are smaller versions of the trees within my trees. I…
It looks like its a full project package to me so I suspect Fabi_G is correct. load the horror game project, save/rename it to whatever you want your project to be called and move your content into the project (migrate tool) after that you should be able to duplicate blueprints and swap your meshes in. you'd hope there's…
Ok.. was gonna rant, but I want to ask this first of everyone else: Outside of the higher-revving higher-end cars, does the exhaust sound good at all? One of my continuing gripes with the Forza series has been the exhaust notes and engine revving just being a droning noise. Is it just my setup or am I not the only one that…
